Not being a pilot myself, I have not first hand experience, but this part of the Fox News article seemed interesting to me.

The Denver runway was free of ice or snow Saturday, according to eyewitnesses and people familiar with the investigation, but rubber skid marks suggest the plane began veering to the left early in its roll toward takeoff.

I wonder if something happened with the breaks on one side during the takeoff, like they engaged or "locked up" when they were trying to takeoff. I don't even know if that is possible. Just sounds weird like they were still trying to roll when the skid marks started. What's your take?

I’m not a pilot either, but early in the roll might have meant a blown tire or a brake malfunction. I still have a feeling the heavy crosswind is going to end up being some sort of a factor, though. Just a hunch.

This afternoon some news reports said the brakes were definitely involved.
